Clearance Timeline
Standard customs clearance at Limassol Port takes 1–3 business days from the date of vessel arrival. Shipments assigned to the green channel (no examination required) can be cleared within hours of declaration submission. Red channel shipments requiring physical examination take longer. Pre-lodging the AIS declaration before the vessel arrives is the most effective way to reduce clearance time and minimise port storage charges.
